    This video was awesome! I'm planning to solo travel to Phuket soon. Fun fact: there is a Chinese belief that when you hear marbles dropping in the middle of the night, it means the place is haunted. The marbles are placed in between each level of the building to entertain "ghost children" so they'll play with the marbles instead of bothering you while you rest.

      Hi I’ve just come back from Phuket.. steer clear of the taxi drivers they will rip you off… download ID driver and you will pay actual price for travelling… for example from my hotel to patong its like 2 miles and they were charging me 300-400 baht… where as ID driver rate was between 90-120 baht

      These are just some of the things I can think of, in fact there are more. This place used to be second only to Chiang Mai where there are many Nomads and expatriate retirees. Because there are beautiful and unique cafes. Plus there is free internet and high speed. And many kinds of delicious local food here can't be found anywhere else in Thailand.

    There is a hotel near Bangla Road and the Jung Ceylon Mall called Sleep With Me, which is not what you might think. It's very PG. Regardless it was excellent, with excellent food and breakfasts in the restaurant included in the price. It was in your range. Just in case you'd like a new location at some point. Clean and quiet and two blocks from the beach too. Having a decent hotel made my trip to Phuket a real proper experience.

    Hey Mandy, just a suggestion for your allergies. I have the same problem with cats. If I forget to wash my hands and touch my eyes, they go crazy. If you haven't already tried them, get some antihistamine eye drops. All the major over the counter brands like Visine and Bausch and Lomb make them. That itchiness you're experiencing will disappear in seconds.
    Loving the video. It's helping with my November planning.

    Just found your channel. I am visiting Thailand in 2 weeks for the first time and will be flying Chiang Mai to Phuket too. How long before your flight do you have to arrive please?
